I'm just wondering if there are any German-speaking people in Korea (and if so, how difficult is it to find someone who can speak it).
I understand that it might even be difficult to find English-speaking people there, but I'm just curious.

I'm not in Korea yet, or certain where I might work, but I'd like to know, because learning German is sort of my hobby. |

Yes there are. There used to be a German hagwon/school in Hannam-Dong. I just had coffee with a Korean gyopo from Germany who represents one of the famous Koreans abroad. She had some friends here who speak German.
Also, my friend is a fluent German speaker. She's Canadian. |

| A couple of good friends in Seoul were German, and there's a reasonably sized German business community there. |

You'll come across a German speaker here or there. I know of a few in my town, and have been in touch with a few others in this province, and that's without even trying to find them.
There's a facebook group ("Deutsch in Seoul," or "Deutsch in Korea" or something like that) comprised of Koreans and non-German foreigners interested in improving their German. I think they do meet up with some Germans, too. So they have get togethers every once in a while. |

Ich w�ge ab, ob sie die Fremdsprachen zensieren sollen.
Ich verstehe "iss" nicht. Ist das einen Dialekt? |

Ich bin Deutsch!
Es gibt ein paar Deutsche die an Universit�ten unterrichten, und eine ganze Menge Gesch�ftsleute die Deutsche Firmen repr�sentieren, aber am besten w�re wahrscheinlich das Goethe Institut in Seoul. Dort hat meine Frau ihr Deutsch gelernt.
PM mich wenn ich dir behilflich sein kann.
Alles Gute. |

I studied German quite a bit when I was at university--I loved reading Kafka in German, made the translations look like crap. But, I've practically lost my ability to communicate in German in the decade since I used to hang out with a few Germans I got acquainted with here in Korea. |

It ain't showin' off if German is my native tongue, which it is. English is my second language, though, as my father is British, I've always been exposed to it. |

Now you're being condescending.
I understood what you had written...I just was teasing you. Although I can't speak German very well anymore, I can still read it well enough. |
